Yes, you were.

Which ebay specifically does not support. Then why mention it?
>"Purchase protection". has. NOTHING. to do with GNU Taler
Nor does my post say. In my post I claim a gnutaler payment system with no
purchase
protection is such a drawback compared to payment systems, which provide a
purchase
protection, that I believe it will significantly limit how many will use
gnutaler.
None of us can determine if my claim is correct. It would require a marketing
research.
You engage in odd arguments, saying if you do not trust seller then you
cannot trust paypal's
purchase protection.
You can get into a dispute with a big known company as well. If you have
paypal purchase
protection and you believe you rightfully have a claim against seller, two
entities must
fail before you have to file a complaint to a consumer authority. Seller and
paypal.
And I think paypal will have a more objective view on a dispute than seller,
because
paypal is not part of the dispute.
You are welcome to have a list of sellers you trust and are prepared to buy
items from
with no purchase protection. I think a lot of buyers will not act like that.
>it's completely irrelevant to GNU Taler
In a gnutaler video they are asked if gnutaler provides a purchase
protection. Gnutaler
answers no and says if someone wants to, they can make a purchase protection
service. I know of no such service and I think gnutaler would be better of,
if
a purchase protection would be integrated as an option in a gnutaler payment.
If there is no purchase protection, preferable integrated in gnutaler, when
gnutaler is introduced, then it will have a significantly negative impact on
how many
will use gnutaler. I think gnutaler wants to be widely used and wants to be
prefered
to other payment systems.
That is why I think it is relevant for gnutaler.
You are unable to react on my claim.
People who demands purchase protection will select paypal over gnutaler. The
number
of people who demands purchase protection is big. Therefore it would be a
mistake
to introduce gnutaler, with no purchase protection ready.
>there are equally good laws to protect you if you're using cash. So if
you're OK with the trust required to use credit cards, it's logically
inconsistent to not be OK with the trust required to use cash or e-cash
